According to state house senior messaging Director Eric Ng’eno, the opposition has been coordinating with “Media Cartels” to benefit from the scheduled presidential Debate.
He added that scheduled presidential debate is a deal to out source money from advertiser during the debates time.
"Jubilee will not participate in events run under the aegis of cartels. We know NASA is largely cartel-friendly," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
